So Laravel is a lot like Rails, but it doesn't compare to Rails because it's not matured yet. Ok..

MySQL vs PostgreSQL vs MongoDB vs Neo4j are all data stores with very different principles and goals. To say they all "achieve the same thing" is like saying an airplane is the same as a speedboat because they both get you from point A to point B.

I certainly believe that frameworks and libraries are tools for different problems and there isn't a one size fits all approach, I just have trouble discerning what problem Laravel is solving better than other frameworks or what makes it advantageous to use.
